How to Unlock a Blackberry 8320 Curve

• Answer:

  When you unlock a Blackberry Curve 8320, you are removing the SIM subsidy lock the carrier placed on the phone before the sale. The SIM subsidy lock ensures that you can only use the phone on one carrier. The phone will only recognize one carrier's SIM card. To remove the lock, all you have to do is enter the SIM unlock code into the phone's hidden network security menu. Difficulty: Easy Things You'll Need SIM unlock code for your specific phone Instructions Press the "Menu" key to view the Applications page. Click "Options," "Settings," and "SIM card." Hold your "Shift" key down as you type "mepd" to display the five locking categories on your Blackberry 8320. Type the letters, even though there isn't a box to type them into and the letters don't appear on the screen as you type. Hold the "Shift" key down again as you type "mep." Type the number 2, which is combination of the "Alt" key and the "E" key. Again, you won't see the letters as you type them and there is no box. Enter the SIM unlock code in the box under "Network MEP" code. Press the "Return" key. Tips & Warnings Tip: SIM unlock codes are available from any online retailer. A good place to start is the mobile service provider for the Blackberry 8320. They often offer the code for free if you meet their requirements. Warning: These instructions can vary slightly depending on your carrier. When you receive your SIM unlock code, you will receive specific instructions geared toward your carrier. If they differ in the slightest way, defer to those instructions. Warning: If your Blackberry 8320 doesn't use a SIM card, it can't have a SIM subsidy lock. Your Blackberry carrier doesn't use unlock codes to prevent you from switching carriers. Instead, you have to install the programming for your new carrier in a process called "flashing."
